Monday Morning #Haiku 54 — Moorhen

Lone Moorhen leaves pond,
walking on grass-coloured stilts,
in search of earthworms.

Those legs really do look like stilts…and you wouldn’t know it was winter by this photo would you? Looks very serene and peaceful…

  It was serene and peaceful when I took that photo, which was why the moorhen was calm enough to pose for the camera.

  You should see how cute moorhen chicks are. I will try to take a photo of them when they hatch out in the spring.

    OOH! That would be fun. I’d emailed you a few days ago. Have you received the email?

    Whoops, I dumped it as I didn’t recognise the email address (which is different from the one you used to use). Have now retrieved it and replied. Thanks, Tokoni 🙂
